[Denis Payne]

Over 2500 petitioners say 'SAVE HISTON STATION'

By signing the SOS petition, the communities of Histon and Impington 
have clearly indicated their opposition to the proposed demolition of 
their historic station building.

On Tuesday 15th May, local campaigner, Pene Nudds presented this 
petition to Councillor Mac McGuire who is the cabinet member 
responsible for Transport and Access, including Highways and access, 
Passenger Transport and the Guided Busway.

Pene comments:

  "Councillor McGuire accepted the petition and I was also able to 
tell him that the ideas we had identified for alternatives to 
demolition were supported by a broad cross section of the community. 
I asked him to consider our case and explained that we are not 
political, merely a group wanting to preserve some of our heritage 
and to get the most out of the opportunities presented by the 
construction of the Guided Busway. "
